St. Columba’s offers a number of formal opportunities for adult formation and spiritual growth.

Sunday Forum (10:15 to 11:05 am)

Join us in the Great Hall on most Sundays during the program year, for presentations that stimulate our imagination about living the Christian life in this community, in today’s changing world. Presentations by the rector and lay leaders are formative for our life as active members of the parish, and we also invite distinguished outside speakers to challenge us on a wide range of current issues. Forums include time for discussion. Click here for upcoming Sunday Forum topics or for past Sunday Forum presentations.

Preparation for Adult Baptism or Commitment

Our annual Commitment and Faith class is designed for anyone over 16 who wants to prepare for baptism or confirmation, to be formally received into the Episcopal Church, or desires to reaffirm their Christian commitment as adults. The program explores the basics of Christian belief and practice, and the worship, traditions and values of the Episcopal Church.

Courses of Faith and Spirit: Adult Formation Classes

Join us on weekday evenings for "Exploring Faith and Spirit," offering a wide range of thought-provoking courses. Classes explore such topics as scripture, church history, worship, interfaith dialogue, spirituality, the arts, and religion and social Issues.

Retreat Weekends

Days of Reflection

Join us at St. C’s on a Saturday in early Advent, and again in Lent, for a day of quiet reflection and prayer. Lasting from 8:30 am to mid-afternoon, these days include several addresses by one of the clergy or a visiting leader, designed to help us pray and enter into the spirit of the season. Silence is maintained in the building so that participants can use this opportunity to focus quietly on the presence and love of God. All are welcome and we encourage you to invite your friends. A simple lunch is provided. Contact: the Rev. Amy Molina-Moore
